Faces Of Africa - Sankara's Ghost

27 years on and Thomas Sankara's legacy still lives on. Sankara was a profound leader with deep love for his country, Burkina Faso. But he would not live long enough to see his vision change his country for better. He was assassinated. "Faces of Africa" takes you through Sankara's journey and how his ideas have stuck in the minds of the young generation, now seeking to resuscitate the country's economic and political status.

Any leader with Sankara’s ideology can’t make it in Africa and the only reason is DISHONESTY. Think about it

[@shermanfirefly5410]

@@davidtayo3643 And the betrayal of a close friend is something that many revolutionists have faced. Mao was betrayed by lin biao, Allende by Pinochet, so on and so forth. The road chosen by a revolutionist is harsh, where one was challenged by both the pressure of the capitalist world, and the internal struggle of his own teammates. Along this road, many have succeeded, while many more have fallen. Therefore it is not any race that should be blamed for the failure of a revolution, but rather the conservative forces and corrupted individuals. Like Sankara, Mao, or any communist, we all have faith in the people. Up till today, Africa is still plagued by imperialist influence and echoes of colonialist exploitation. The people need to be educated, motivated, and then united. An idea needs to be understood before it can be supported. Since betrayals are almost bond to occur in revolutions, the best solution is to build an organization that is strong enough to withstand such betrayal. Which, unfortunately, both the Sanbkara and black panther failed to create

He looks like a more matured and professional 2pac I see the same qualities in both of them caring for their people

[@maat-erovermind5962]

Gains Bond / both were communists... communism advocates emancipation for oppressed peoples

[@blazingbomba6137]

Marxista Hispano de México right thanks for pointing that out

[@maliksy7746]

Right

[@maliksy7746]

@Karl Marx Sankara was more than a socialist

[@couldbpascal]

@Simo Zulu 2Pac was far from an "American somebody" he was born into a family of Black Panthers and held revolutionary politics. As his fame grew, U.S intelligence focused on neutralizing him. Just listen to his first album

[@DUBAVIBES]

As as A Ghanaian born in the UK I'm greatful for everything Thomas Sankara's story to be told because before this I never even knew who he was and now I know I feel great sadness he's gone Sir thank you for all you done for your people and showing real unity to Africa and the World R .I .P

[@Tiarka]

Land of the Upright People! Wow, I never knew that. I want to openly thank y’all for carrying this spirit and allowing us to experience. Long Live Thomas Sankara.

[@user-pw4ek8yv9d]

Je suis chinois et j’espère sincèrement que le peuple du Burkina Faso pourra réaliser les idéaux de Sankara.🇨🇳🤝🇧🇫

[@kevimeru6990]

Sankara's burial place is a national monument. Let the nation open a competition from artists and architect's to present a plan to improve the monument and surrounding, implement the winner's plan, and make this place a center of attraction for both citizens and tourists.

[@shesanmichaeliwaloye5249]

Absolutely correct ..

[@trs-treatmentplc9016]

For the whole of Africa. .. Saint Sankara

[@kooiiiii]

... as beautiful as that would be, wouldn't it also be contrary to Sankara's ideals and how he lived his life?

[@colinroach7815]

Kui The Fish: Kevi meru's idea goes towards inspiring the people, by resurrecting President Thomas Sankara. Sankara's ideals are National, it is for the people, not for himself. He did not give himself self praise, however, the people do, and it is clear why they praise Sankara. The Monument should be improved upon. Only Muammar Gadaffi can stand next to Thomas Sankara.

[@tuforu4]

THOMAS WAS FAR AHEAD OF GADAFFI

[@Atlas24gh]

That little girl @13:29 is so fierce . She is going to be a scholar

[@kagohimichaelgnahore7395]

The point now is " how are we going to incarnate his values in our personal lives?" Blessed memory

[@scenes1229]

I'm here again, watching this for the 3rd time. RIP my forever crush.

[@afrakanaswahilitv5520]

Am watching for the 5th time and still mourning my President. Much love and respect from Kenya. We the Sankara sons are still carrying on with his ideology. France must be kicked out of Afrika together with her French language.

[@MenengaiCrater]

Blaise Compaore is near death and he is sure Sankara is waiting for him on the other side. I am a Kenyan and wish to travel to Burkina Faso and most other African countries before I end my shift on this planet.

[@bernardchava4362]

Its also my ambition to visit Burkinafaso and pay my respect to the great son of mother Africa.

[@tianaprince-nalwanga4375]

Kobo I hope he faces life in jail

[@chancethesaver1354]

Free somalia

[@AccipiterSmith]

Nah, Blaise's soul is going to the sea of fire for betraying Sankara.

[@mr.curtis2256]

Borned in raised in the u.s. but my love is AFRIKA❤

[@ryansoit9524]

Wellcome to kenya Bro where you buy land and build your own house unlike USA where houses are very expensive

[@carpediem4512]

Borned in raised in the us? With that kind of English, I highly doubt that.

[@setumosentle6210]

Didn't know much about the gentleman but from what I've read of him , he was a great man whom his memories will enver remain indelible in my mind. A good people's leader may your soul rest in peace knowing that you left your country in a good position to further your dreams.

[@John-xv1nt]

Thomas Sankara my greatest inspiration. I will surely visit his resting place to show my respect. Lots of love from Kenya.

[@khem127]

Not enough people know about Sankara, who was an amazing African leader, truly ahead of his time!

[@almirfda]

My respect to the great leader Thomas Sankara, the world needs men like him.

[@mikezhang3113]

桑卡拉上尉是我最敬佩的人之一，他的精神将在非洲大地永垂不朽。

[@SpiritualSchmuck]

The fact that everyone knew the coup was coming and Sankara couldn't acknowledge his best friend was going to betray him was so sad.

[@ugocity1]

Similar situation with Aguiyi Ironsi in 1966 Nigeria when he was clearly warned that his immediate lieutenants were plotting to assassinate him but he downplayed all warnings... eventually they killed him.

[@pib-wiu6360]

As an African and Nigerian, this reduces me to tears. I remember as a young lad back then when the news of this untold evil against the soul of all that's progressive Africa filtered through, I was dumbfounded about how Africa can allow or remain helpless about an evil of this magnitude. Even in my adult mind today, I still struggle to get a hold in understanding how a forthright leader like Sankara can be butchered in the manners he was dispensed with and nothing happens.

[@doreendklutz6400]

Think Patrice Lumumba, this Malcom X….😭😭😭

[@MikeK-lw2in]

I can feel the pain in your heart!!! We will rise one day!

[@Nikkinoonie]

🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@mmmoffers7878]

As a Nigerian I am saddened and also inspired but it's worrisome to think that they don't teach these things in our schools , we know so little of our heros in Nigeria & Africa at large .. I guess cause Africa has not been truly liberated but soon the story will change.. I know Nigerian is very key to this effect , God help us see beyond tribalism and religion 🙏

[@corlys6372]

One of the greatest men to ever live. You don't have to be african to know this man is one of a kind. R.I.P. Thomas an inspiration to all

[@davidhugh2344]

He played the guitar , that’s all I need to know about this man to know he meant the best for Africa

[@subhamjungshah8860]

After watching this, I fill like he was the real "BLACK PNTHER".

[@yohembuyu]

Yes , indeed

[@maliksy7746]

Yes, An African Legendary Warrior

[@importedriceco]

Sankara and the actual Black Panther party were equally revolutionary, unfortunately there were all brutally murdered by the white imperialist states. Hollywood even made the black panther into a incredibely stupid fictional hero movie just to misrepresnt their lagacy

[@noneother6867]

Each time I watch this video, I shed tears. What an upright man's friend can do to him. We love you Sankara. - Riliwan, Nigeria.

[@rebeccadansoa3834]

Me too

[@timcamer4702]

Same here !

[@lawsonrichards7005]

rip comrade. you are a legend. thoughts and respect from wales. ☭✊⚒

[@ebbek6065]

I’m from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and I solute you. We as Africans need to unite, drop this French language and culture and adopt our own native language. My dream is for the continent to have a common language be Swahili or other majority African language as I know it will accelerate our unity. RIP Sankara, Lubumba.

[@afrakanaswahilitv5520]

Drop the French language now. Those racists mzungus from France must be totally kicked out of Afrika.

[@jengaetv5515]

From Jamaica to Burkina one love to the great Sankara. Let us find his killers and bring them to justice.

[@aminata8320]

I wish more Africans see this, and see how powerful we can be without the ‘aid’ of the outsiders. They depend on us for survival, so of course they would kill him if he refuses to go by their con terms. RIP Captain

[@maliksy7746]

Right

[@user-pb3zd3us7g]

I learned about the great soldier of communism in my extracurricular reading in high school. I am a Chinese. Do you still miss this great man in your country?

[@user-pb3zd3us7g]

As a Chinese, I used to work in Europe. To be objective. People who know modern history generally dislike Britain and France. The world knows Gandhi in India and Mandela in South Africa, but few people know Sankara, a great communist soldier. Especially France, which can't even beat Vietnam, always bullies Africa.

[@bjayzwish5546]

I'm in tears watching and reading comments about a leader till the end and no single insult waw!!! He is a true hero

[@laminsesay8299]

I feel the same here tears

[@kwameaboagye121]

Sankara was a Pan African warrior man I can tell you that he was so uncompromising.

Rest In Peace I love you from Nigeria 🇳🇬
